Very similar comments on this board were made after Archie suspended our front court players before the team was morphed to play small-ball, and before the elite-8 run. Statistics don't show intangibles most often. In all honesty I think Archie, from past performance, has intangibles in spades over AG, based on past performance. I want a coach that doesn't wilt in crunch-time. Not saying it happened to AG, but losing close games more often than not is not bad luck. It's often because the players couldn't keep the pace or they didn't make the right adjustments. Sounds pretty unconvincing until you factor in the team included a top five recruiting class. What would Archie....oh, nevermind.
